A Concert is a performance in which a musician or many musicians play music together to a group of listeners (an audience). In the case of a concert of classical music there may be an orchestra. There is often an important visual element to the performance, such as with a rock concert. However, if acting out a story is an important part of the performance this is called theatre, not a concert.
The performers at a concert are usually raised above the level of the audience on a stage. Concerts may be held in concert halls which are built for the purpose, or they may be held in any other suitable large building such as a school hall, a nightclub, a barn or a large house or castle. Some concerts are given to very large audiences in the open air. They may take place in a field or in a stadium. The music for these “open-airs” is usually amplified by loudspeakers so that large audiences can hear it.
A concert given by just one performer (or perhaps two) is usually called a recital.
Musicians who play in lots of different concerts (with different groups) often call a concert engagement a “gig” (both “g”s are pronounced hard).
A group of musicians may sometimes travel around giving concerts in different places. This is called a “tour”.
A group of concerts in one place or in one area that takes place for several days may be called a “festival”. Examples are: The Proms, the Edinburgh Festival, the Glastonbury Festival etc.
